Minnesota Recruiters Conference #14 #mnrec Twitter Transcript

 

Here is the digest of (most of the) #mnrec Tweets from the June 10th, 2011 Minnesota Recruiters Conference #14 event at General Mills.

I say “most of” because I did not grab the Tweets until about 4 days later and not all of them could be found. I pieced most of them together using a couple of different sources so anything that has been omitted is not intended.

These are in reverse chronological order so scroll down to the bottom of the post and work your way up.

Here goes…
